NAME

       tomoyo-patternize - utility to convert pathnames in policy into patterns

SYNOPSIS

       tomoyo-patternize

       tomoyo-patternize [configfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program reads domain policy from standard input and replaces pathnames with patterns.
       Replacement rules are defined in /etc/tomoyo/tools/patternize.conf. The resulting policy
       is sent to standard output and is useful to shorten and simplify domain or exception
       policy.

       Pathnames used for domain names themselves will not be replaced. Only the first matching
       rule is used for any particular pathname. If a pathname does not match any rules, it is
       left unchanged.

EXAMPLES

       Replace "proc:/self/fd/0" with "proc:/self/fd/\$"
             rewrite path_pattern proc:/self/fd/\$

       Replace "proc:/123/status" with "proc/\$/status"
             rewrite head_pattern proc:/\$

       Replace "dev(8,1):/etc/mtab~456" with "dev(8,1):/etc/mtab~\$"
             rewrite tail_pattern /etc/mtab~\$

       Replace "/tmp/phpZjk1k3" with @GROUP1
             rewrite path_pattern /tmp/php\?\?\?\?\?\? @GROUP1

       Replace integers between 0-100 or 100-200 with @GROUP2
             rewrite number_pattern 0-100 @GROUP2
             rewrite number_pattern 100-200 @GROUP2

       Replace loopback addresses with @LOCALHOST
             rewrite address_pattern 127.0.0.1 @LOCALHOST
             rewrite address_pattern 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 @LOCALHOST

       See the configuration file for more information on rule syntax.
